That’s uncalled for.
The problem with having an "ignore list" over 200 is that I can never remember why I put people there. Were they an asshole? Was their profile picture annoying? Were they political? Were they illiterate? Did they chime in on every single thread just to be heard? The mind boggles.

Sometimes, though, there are reminders...

Over 200? At risk of being added to your ignore list, sure that is not a "you" problem?

Been on a lot of forums over the years and can count maybe 2 or 3 people I ever had to put on a ignore list.

I’ve yet to “ignore” anyone & not sure how it works. Did you “ignore” “Bob” who quoted “710” and only saw “710”’s response? Or “ignore” neither and just piped in on the “ignore” feature ? Just curious - that’s all.

If you don’t see this question, I’ll understand:(

Ha, no worries. It's really not a "problem" at all. I'm sure I miss out on things here and there, but I curate this online world the way I want to see it: friendly, helpful, and apolitical. Apparently I have a low tolerance for people I deem to have run afoul of that. YMMV...

I’m not sure I want a pure electric Maverick. I like the freedom of being able to drive hundreds of miles on a full tank and stop for 5 minutes to fill up.
That is cool. EV's are not for everybody. Its a personal choice. But they are producing electric vehicles that will get 300-500 Miles per charge. I think there is a lot of negative myths and misinformation being spread around by the powerful big oil companies, and big oil investors on Wall Street. People got use to charging their cell phones. Most people are using battery powered tools now. When gas powered vehicles first came along the doubters use to tout that their horse and buggy does not need stop for a fill up. If you have a driveway, a garage you can install a charger at your house. Charge over night. More and more public and private chargers are popping up all over the country. Capitalism will ensure EV technology and charger technology will only get better.

The ride is rough and uncomposed regardless of speed. Routinely spend time in a Tahoe Premiere (magnetic adjustable shocks) and it really highlights how rough of a ride the Maverick is.
Have to agree, at low speeds on uneven pavement, especially. Freeway it is good. Drove it cross country and it was fine. Around town, not great, but ok. I'll stick to electric around town. The hybrid is great on mileage but ride not as good in the City with construction everywhere now.

I have an electric EV6 Gt Line 4door BEV (that gets 320 in town and 280 at 75-80MPH...bulletproof and cheap to operate) and the Mav hybrid. I never take the EV over 275 miles, requiring a charge, because I hate charging out of town at fast chargers that cost 4 to 5 times what l pay at home. It is cheaper to take the Maverick for the round trip. One way where there is a home charger at the other end, sure, all day long. However, l am not going to pay 15 dollars to get there and 50 plus to get back. That's the biggest drawback to me. Not that l can't do it but it's just stupid. I know they have to make back the infrastructure, but l just can't relate when l can avoid those prices.

You must have a different Maverick than mine. It’s like driving on a cloud.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about driving around town.
Anybody that thinks driving a Mav around town is like a cloud ride has never had a great driving comfy car..sorry.

For the price, and for me, it is a very comfortable ride….sorry. 😉

I drove from upper Massachusetts to Charlotte NC in April and it was a nice ride. Planning on driving to Daytona FL and back in December. I’ll be getting new tires before I head south. I don’t know what type of weather I’ll be coming back to.

When I first drove my 2026 Maverick 2.0, I said to myself, this is a good handling AWD sedan, disguised as a truck.

Yep - our Mavericks have a unibody & AWD suspension compared to the the body on frame & leaf springs like the Ranger & F-150.

Maverick’s “Truck of the Year” victories raised some hackles amongst the Leaf Spring Army:)

I love driving my hybrid Maverick especially on long trips but I cruise at a very comfortable 7 to 10 over.
